The Mentos + Coke video phenomenon is like a wild fire burning through tons of bandwidth.

The story? I doubt it’s worth calling it a story: if you drop Mentos in Coke, you get a geyser. Naturally, both Coca Cola and Mentos refuse to comment.

The point is that a ton of Mentos + Coke videos have surfaced. Some guys have been doing synchronized performances – over 100 bottles of diet coke “blowing up” in a choreographed performance. I would even go so far as to call these guys independent filmmakers… I mean there was obviously no studio backing for these projects!
